Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 785 The blind date is a hearing-impaired person 3

It was nightfall and dinner time. People were coming and going in the restaurant. The soft music was mixed with the clinking sounds of porcelain plates and chopsticks.

At a table in the corner, Lingyao and Zhou Lusheng sat facing each other.

During this eye contact, Zhou Lusheng's dark eyelashes fluttered, and he quickly lowered his eyes to avoid the gaze.

He looked at the half-eaten food on the table, and his face suddenly felt a little hot and annoyed.

If he had known earlier...if he had known earlier he would not have eaten. If he had known earlier he would have waited a little longer.

I don’t know if it will leave a bad impression on her.

Zhou Lusheng pursed his lips and tapped on his phone for a long time before handing the phone to Lingyao.

Lingyao lowered her eyes and looked at the phone screen.

[Sorry, I was a little hungry just now, so I took it to eat first. I hope you don’t mind. I’m really sorry. ]

Lingyao: ...What the hell.

Lingyao stared at the words for a long time and roughly understood what they meant.

He probably wanted to say, "I'm sorry, I was a little hungry just now so I took it to eat first, do you mind? I'm really sorry."

It is probably because of his hearing impairment that he does not have a deep understanding of the word order of ordinary people's speech, so it is easy for him to reverse the word order when typing.

Lingyao took the phone and started typing.

[It's okay, I'm not very hungry, you eat yours. ]

She was eating the whole time she was sitting with that guy just now, and she was actually full now.

However, seeing Zhou Lusheng stop moving, his hands and feet were awkward, and his back was straight and stiff, Lingyao stood up and picked up a plate of fruit from the nearest place and sat down.

He picked up one of the slices of watermelon and took a bite.

The watermelons in the restaurant are consumed very quickly, and the ones Lingyao picked up on this plate were all freshly cut and replenished, so they were very fresh.

As you take a bite, the sweet juice blooms on the tip of your tongue, and the fragrance of watermelon fills the air, refreshing and delicious.

Lingyao took another bite and looked up to see Zhou Lusheng looking at her cautiously. When he saw her looking up, he immediately retracted his gaze, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fried rice on the table.

Lingyao slowly finished the watermelon in her hand and put it aside, then wiped her hands with a tissue.

Seeing Lingyao stop, Zhou Lusheng also stopped. In fact, from the moment Lingyao sat down at the table, Zhou Lusheng could no longer taste the food in his mouth.

He was originally lacking one of his five senses, and now he lost another one. The lost sense was all occupied by the slightly uneven heartbeat, the throat that was so tense that it kept secreting saliva, and the rapidly rising adrenaline.

This is not Zhou Lusheng’s first blind date.

His previous blind date partners included ordinary people and people with disabilities like him.

To be honest, he finds it easier to deal with people with disabilities than with ordinary people.

It’s not because of how ordinary people would treat him, but because of his own psychological pressure. When facing a disabled person, it is easier to communicate in a peaceful manner because both parties are a little "special".

I had a blind date with a disabled person who was also hearing-impaired, but she had a mild hearing impairment. She had been wearing hearing aids since she was young, and except for the fact that she attended a special school for a period of time at the beginning and learned sign language, she was actually no different from ordinary people.

During the conversation, when Zhou Lusheng honestly said that he was severely blind and deaf, that hearing aids were of no use to him, and that he had undergone a failed cochlear implant surgery as an adult, the other party smiled awkwardly.

Ten minutes later, the other party took the initiative to end the dinner, left early, and tactfully rejected the person who pulled the trigger on WeChat.

Zhou Lusheng was not surprised by this. His parents were worried about his marriage, so they always concealed the specific condition of his hearing when introducing him to a girl.

It’s just that Zhou Lusheng doesn’t want to lie. Marriage is a lifelong thing. Lies may work for a while, but they can’t work for a lifetime.

What's more, he is in poor condition and has physical defects, so it is normal that others do not accept him. He can live alone and there is no need for him to harm others.

Zhou Lusheng has also had blind dates with ordinary people.

The girl met him at a banquet, and asked a relative to introduce them to each other. He said he didn't care about his situation.

Then the two met once, and the girl said she had never been on a blind date, so she brought a friend along.

At that time, Zhou Lusheng actually didn't want to go for the photo shoot. He had met people who were interested in his face before, but they were just looking for something new.

However, it was the first time that Zhou's father and mother heard that there was a hearing person who didn't mind Zhou Lusheng's conditions, so they tried to persuade Zhou Lusheng several times and carried him away.

After arriving at the restaurant, the girl was quite enthusiastic, but she probably heard from the introducer that Zhou Lusheng could read lips, so she spoke without typing much. As a result, Zhou Lusheng spent the entire meal racking his brains to read her lips.

Things like lip reading also depend on your familiarity with the other person and the speaker's speaking speed.

At home, Zhou's father and mother don't need to use sign language with him, because Zhou Lusheng is very familiar with their lip shapes when speaking, and Zhou's father and mother will also cooperate with him and speak a little slower.

However, when facing strangers, especially strangers who speak very fast, Zhou Lusheng's lip reading is not very accurate. He can basically only read half of the meaning, and the rest depends on guessing.

After the other party found out that Zhou Lusheng couldn't understand her lip reading several times and had to type to ask her, she probably felt it was troublesome and stopped talking to Zhou Lusheng.

The girl turned around and started talking to her friends. When they talked about something interesting, they laughed together. Zhou Lusheng had no idea what they were talking about, and he didn't want to read their lips in their private conversation, so he just buried his head in eating.

While eating, he saw the girl and her friend look up at him a few times.

After returning home that day, as expected by Zhou Lusheng, the girl never contacted him again.

Only the introducer conveyed the other party's intention to him.

"Xiao Wu said that you are too boring and that he doesn't get along with you. Also, next time when you eat with a girl, make less noise. Girls like people who are more refined. If you make such loud noises while eating, the girl will be embarrassed!"

Zhou Lusheng's face turned red, and the shame and embarrassment made his blood rush back to his head.

[Got it, Auntie, thank you.] After biting his tongue and typing out these words, Zhou Lusheng turned off his phone and threw the "iron box" into the drawer, as if there was some terrible beast inside.

Because hearing-impaired people cannot hear, they often make noises unconsciously. For example, when they eat, Zhou Lusheng should be fine when eating normally, and no one has ever said anything to him, but maybe they are just taking care of him.

Zhou Lusheng recalled the two looks that the other party and her friend gave him. At that time, he choked a little because he ate too much, so he quickly took a few sips of the soup beside him...

After that blind date, Zhou Lusheng didn’t go on any blind dates for two months, even though his father and mother used threats and inducements to force him.
